The .shiksha domain was proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program with the goal of creating a dedicated space for educational institutions and learning centers worldwide, particularly in regions where Hindi and Sanskrit are widely spoken. It received an early warning from India's government due to cultural sensitivity, but was approved and delegated to the DNS root zone on January 18, 2014. Afilias initially operated the TLD, and operations were later transitioned to Identity Digital Limited.
